The Advent Jukebox, Day 13... 'Christmas Time In The Mountains'

I honestly can't tell if this little tune is beautifully cynical or cynically beautiful.

Either way, it is now most definitely one of my holiday favourites...



_____
It's a Will Oldam 'Palace Songs' song that was oft-covered by the Swell Seasonists.
Image at the top of the post is Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Bavarian Alps....I was going to post an image from the Christmas Mountains in New Brunswick, but what happened there not long ago is just too depressing, for this time of year at least.
What's this Advent Jukebox business all about?....Well, the idea of a homemade 'song a day'-type advent calendar/jukebox came to me in late November a few years ago....And when the tunes began they were, essentially, lullabies for our oldest kid who was half a continent away cramming for final exams...Now, well, the whole thing just seems to be a bit of a tradition, if such a thing is possible on the ever changing interweb of everchanging platforms 'n things.
